Launch a Double-Take Cloud repository instance

Click here to sign in to the AWS Management Console.
Create a new key pair and save the key pair file. You will need this information when you get the Administrator password.
Launch an instance of the Double-Take Cloud repository AMI. Click here to see a list of the currently-available Double-Take AMIs. You will need to select the appropriate AMI for your region.

Double-Take Software periodically updates the AMIs.
Double-Take supports all Amazon regions.
You can accept the default values when launching the instance.
Make note of the instance ID.

Make sure that the default security group is selected.
Look at instance properties and make note of the availability zone. You will need this information when you set up your EBS volume.

Note:

In the Instance size field, select the option that is appropriate for your needs. Select the instance size that is large enough to handle the processing and storage requirements of the server you are recovering. You can use the cost estimate calculator to approximate the monthly cost for an instance.

When recovering a server image from a Cloud repository server to a Cloud recovery server, avoid the Micro instance type. Recovery and operational performance are significantly degraded if the recovery server is provisioned using the Micro instance type. For optimal data transmission and server recovery rates, use the small instance type at a minimum.

Next step: After you have launched the repository instance, create an EBS volume.
